is there some universal law somewhere that says that any electronic gadget maker needs to bow to the Linux gods and enable any gadget to run Linux? Wasn't part of Linux the adventure of getting Linsux to run on anything? Kodak cameras, early iPods, etc? What?, So every manufacturer has to build Linux compatible devices? Get your hand out of you pants. There are so many gadgets coming out of the same chinese factories that make Apple and MS stuff that it should not be too hard to find an linux box for you, or do you just need to whine about something?
estimated cost to manufacture does not factor in cost to develop and cost of support and distribution. So how do high-end Android phones and tablets justify their prices? Anyway, it was the same with Nike shoes, GPS in cars, and Digital watches, it will all calm down until/when the next big thing comes along.
sorry for replying to my own post, this situation would hark back to horse and buggy days where a milkman's house would learn the route and move from place to place while the milkman delivered milk door to door, I remember seeing this happen for years. Anyway, the milkman is still responsible for the horse and cart.
the owner of the car is responsible for the car and any laws it may break or damage it may cause. If a driver is legally monitoring the vehicle, i.e. Driving, then they are responsible for the actions of the vehicle. There is no free ride.
Infosec is part of the NSA brief, and the function is unclassified, so it isn't news. You'll remember this when some scriptkiddy turns your power off, while you were complaining that NSA shouldn't be doing this type of network testing to prevent it from happening.
this is because the roads are surveyed but the actual condition of the road may vary from track (in this case) to highway. I know a couple of places where the same issue exists in google maps. Google is/was using some crappy arial views while the Apple map tried a little harder, (look up the town of Boorowa, Australia)
i always had trouble with the machining video. It seems like a waste of time and materials to carve EACH MacBook out of a single slab of material. I would have thought that the case was injection moulded and then 'finished' with a machine.
Steve is dead, the company moves on... If you look at MacOSX on a laptop, it uses the big multi-touch mousepad instead of a touch screen. Win8 needs a touchscreen because they put a tablet UI on a PC. Different OS, Different requirements.
collecting unattributable metadata may be legal, it would be no different to checking system logs on a linux/unix machine. Building a case that links the principal to the 'browsing' would require a bit of work and I guess a warrant, unless he confessed when presented with some 'evidence'. Sounds like a concocted story to me. I mean, why would the principle use the only laptop with 'spyware' on it? surely a school has more than one laptop? oops, I forgot, it's the USA.
The company has escaped charges, only a few people are actually facing actual charges. I would guess that lots of people behind the company execs who were actually writing the lies will collect their big pay packets and not actually give a shit.
I haven no trouble with the main site on my tablet, so you must be pandering to those people who bought sub standard tablets with low resolution screens who think that all tablets are the 'same'./sarcasm

the Aliens are starting to thaw out and the invasion will start soon.

the time frame puts this out beyond my care factor. Don't worry, rising sea levels will flood the Island first.
your statements are too generic to have any credibility.
inconsistent use of acronyms seems to stick out here. Oh well, at least he got his name on /. I'll wait for more hard evidence, actually, IDGAS.
it was also play on a different date, 7-12-12.
Sorry but this would not be /. without a Monty Python Cheese reference. So do you actually have any Cheese, Cleese?

yes I remember that event, it was a Tuesday.

would Google have improved their map app if Apple had not removed it in the first place?
How does he get to his seat in the Australian Senate? It's a joke, a publicity stunt.
A storekeeper makes profit on sales and service? Wtf?

I agree, so many cheap Android phones with 2.3 or lower.
worked for MS, should work for Apple.
